Full solution

Q. =12 =\frac{1}{2} \newline44. If x1y+3xy=1z \frac{x-1}{y+3}-\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{z} , find x x when y=8 y=8 and z=2 z=2 .
  1. Plug in values: Plug in the given values for yy and zz into the equation.x18+3x8=12\frac{x-1}{8+3}-\frac{x}{8}=\frac{1}{2}
  2. Simplify equation: Simplify the equation. x111x8=12\frac{x-1}{11}-\frac{x}{8}=\frac{1}{2}
  3. Find common denominator: Find a common denominator for the fractions on the left side of the equation, which is 8888. \newline8(x1)8811x88=12\frac{8(x-1)}{88}-\frac{11x}{88}=\frac{1}{2}
  4. Distribute and combine: Distribute and combine like terms. (8x811x)/88=12(8x-8-11x)/88=\frac{1}{2}
  5. Simplify numerator: Simplify the numerator.3x888=12\frac{-3x-8}{88}=\frac{1}{2}
  6. Cross-multiply: Cross-multiply to get rid of the fractions.\newline3x8=44-3x-8=44
  7. Add 88 to both sides: Add 88 to both sides of the equation.\newline3x=52-3x=52
  8. Divide to solve for xx: Divide both sides by 3-3 to solve for xx.x=523x=\frac{-52}{3}
